I was trying to find out how to do this at the same time I sent the
original message. If I run
$ python /site/python-2.5.2/lib/python2.5/test/regrtest.py
I get:

12 skips unexpected on aix5:
test_hashlib test_curses test_hmac test_urllib2net test_largefile
test_ctypes test_urllib2 test_urllib2_localnet test_sha
test_pep247 test_unicodedata test_md5
Most of the unexpected skips happen because of not being able to load
the _md5 module, but the ctypes failure has me worried ("test_ctypes
skipped -- No module named _ctypes"). I can see in the numpy source
where it tries to import this library. Would missing this and/or the
_md5 module cause the issue that I'm seeing? I've sent a note to the
system administrators to try and get this fixed in the installation.
Thanks,
Tim
